: Generates the following output:

: Is it normal that Linear address == physical address?
Depends on XMS provider and if you run in VM86 mode:
1. plain DOS in VM86 mode (using EMM386) -> normal (except for UMBs).
2. plain DOS in real mode -> very normal.
3. VM86 in some WINDOZE or DOSEMU -> unnormal, or I'd say _unlikely_ is
more appropriate.
: Where can I find any discription of interrupts used in this program?
Search for Ralf Brown's Interrupt List.
: One more question: is it 'good style' to post a link to text of program or I
: should put the text in message body?
Tiny program (perhaps up to a page) should be ok. Link is ok. It
depends on what the question is. If you had a lot of questions
regarding specific things about the code, a link and quoting the
relevant parts with your questions would be better.
Right,
